Why does my truck feel like it has no power?
There are many reasons why your vehicle may be losing power, especially when accelerating. Some of these common causes are: Mechanical problems such as: Low compression, clogged fuel filter, dirty air filter, clogged Exhaust Manifold. Malfunction of actuators such as: Bad injectors, bad fuel pump, bad spark plugs.
What causes a Chevy 350 to backfire when idle?
If a main vacuum hose such as the power brake booster feed line has broken or failing off it will cause a lean backfire due to the additional air allowed into the engine intake manifold. This problem will be accompanied by high or low engine idle and a harder to push brake pedal than normal.
What can cause a backfire through the intake system?
Although there are many problems that can cause the intake system to backfire, the overall effect is the same. Since the intake valve needs to provide the engine with a proper balance of fuel and air, a backfire occurs when that balance fails.
Why does my car have a lean backfire?
The engine’s intake system depends on being completely sealed and free from leaks. If a main vacuum hose such as the power brake booster feed line has broken or failing off it will cause a lean backfire due to the additional air allowed into the engine intake manifold.
What’s the misfire code on a 1998 Vortec?
Can someone please help with what I should check next, I have a 1998 Chevy K1500 5.7 Vortec with a misfire, P0300 code for 3 months. runs a little rough, while driving under normal conditions it sputters, hesitates, and also will backfire, under heavy acceleration no noticeable skip, no sputters, and does not hesitate or backfire.
Why does my Chevy Blazer have no power?
If not that code then your problem is most likely the cheap plastic distributor that GM installed for that year. Take off that expensive cap and see if the shaft jiggles. It is better to remove the distributor to inspect it. AutoZone sells a lifetime warranted Distributor for about $90.
Why does my Chevy 350 backfire when I accelerate?
If you hear a pop sound under the hood when you accelerate it is most likely running lean (Not enough fuel) from either a vacuum leak or the fuel pump failing (low fuel pressure). The 90 degree elbow in the PCV Valve hose at the base of the throttle body to the PCV valve is common to either fall off or have a hole in it.
What’s the fuel pressure on a Chevy Blazer?
My Blazer bogs down when you hit the gas and has trouble starting. We have replaced the MAF sensor, plugs, rotor, cap, plug wires, and fuel filter. The fuel pressure is at 50psi when idling and 64 wot when driving. Can we have pressure without flow? Initially the code was p0171. Now that we cleared it it hasn’t come back on.
What causes a fuel intake back fire explosion?
An intake back-fire explosion can be caused by the fuel air mixture being to lean when the engine is demanding power. Every internal combustion engine runs on a mixture of 14 to 1 which is fourteen parts air to one part fuel. Proper fuel pressure is needed to atomize the fuel correctly when it leaves the fuel injector to complete the burn process.
